After a quiet start to October, we were called out twice in quick succession to the mountain bike trails at Greno Woods and Wharncliffe. In the first, in the early afternoon, a mountain biker was hurt coming off the Bottom Gap Jump at Greno Woods. After Yorkshire Ambulance Service assessed their injuries, we secured them in our vacuum mattress, moved them onto our rescue stretcher and carried them to the ambulance at the roadhead.
